News

We haven't heard anything from Duke yet about the biopsy, so we probably won't know anything until Monday.

Thanks to our awesome readers, we won all four Blogger Choice Awards for which we were nominated. I don't know if we actually win anything other than recognition, which is cool with me, because I know that many people have found the blog because of those nominations.

Our local friends and supporters at the Southern Shores Rita's are going to be hanging out at the Kitty Hawk Elementary Fall Festival tomorrow from 10-4, raising money for Cystic Fibrosis! We'll be swinging by at some point, as long as everyone is feeling good, enjoying some delicious water ice.

And, tonight, Gwyneth will be experiencing rice cereal for the first time...you know that cameras will be ready!

Thanks for the update. I hope Tricia is feeling better. Gwyneth is getting to be a big girl if she is ready for cereal. She'll grow like a weed now. I wish we lived closer and could join you for the Rita's fundraiser. I hope it does well. Have a nice weekend. Still praying in NJ.

I am glad you are finally going to take a few pictures of this little girl!!:) Hope she likes her rice cereal. Praying for you guys Nate and I won't stop. Asking our God to continue doing His best work here as He has faithfully done so far. May your weekend be blessed.

God bless you all with a fun time together. I look forward to seeing Miss G eating/wearing the newspaper paste, i.e rice cereal! (Ask me how I know that! I have been through this three times, and it is fun!) Keep some baby wipes ready!

Thanks for the update!!! Praying everyone is feeling well this weekend and able to get out enjoy family time...can't wait to see pics/video of Gwyneth with her rice cereal!!!!!!! The fun is beginning!!!! She is such a sweetie.

It's wonderful to hear to that you seem to be able to focus onother things other than waiting for more news, a child can be a great way to keep your mind occupied. Can't wait to see the cereal pics. Congrats on your winnings.

Oh, what a milestone! Our son and elder daughter are about your age, Nate (and boy, I don't know how much longer I can get away with saying I feel 29), and our younger daughter is seriously trailing the pack at 24. Know that we were serious camera people way back when people used film! We have pictures of them experiencing rice cereal, and they are among our dearest treasures. Each attempted bite and scoop is lovingly captured. Right along them in importance are the pictures of our Grandgirlies' experience with the same! Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy! Oh, I have to add this. The diapers are gonna change biiiiiiiiig time. Be prepared.

That precious Gwyneth - at 10lb 2oz, she's not yet as big as I was at BIRTH! ;-) (The doctor called me a baby hippo!) Can't wait to see the photos of her eating cereal! And the pink icing is definitely her shade.

Since hearing the news of Tricia's chemo results, I've heard from so many people in our church...many who wept at the news, some who are fasting on your behalf, and many more who have shared how your journey has changed their life. C3 continues to faithfully lift you all up in prayer & to love your family from afar.

Awww!!!! She is such a darling! I just want to kiss those sweet cheeks! Just a thought, if she doesn't take to the rice cereal, ask your pediatrician about the Gerber Oatmeal. Both my daughters didn't like the rice cereal at all! But both LOVED the oatmeal :) All my prayers to Tricia for a good outcome on Monday! You all are constantly in my thoughts and prayers! ~~~Jennifer in Arlington Heights, IL
